Summary: A good primier for basic child-rearing!
Review: As a school psychologist I am often asked which books are good in regards to behavioral concerns. I find the Little People book has some good basic techniques to teach and does it in a easy to read manner. I am always sorry that it is not easier to locate in the local bookstore because I want to buy it for friends.

Summary: Exellent resource, concise, easy reading, pullout section
Review: The book focuses on common child-rearing behavioral problems and the easy solutions to fix them. It emphasizes catching the children in acts of good behavior instead of punishing them for bad behavior. I used the ideas put forth in the text with my own children and was delighted at how well the results showed. Anyone who is ready to pull their hair out with a specific behavioral problem concerning a child, should read this book. Not only does it offer solutions of how to turn behavior around, but it also has pullout sections for your particular concern that can be put in a convenient location. You will quickly find how to apply these methods in a broader sense to many aspects of child-rearing and socially accepted behavior. Written in small, easy to digest chapters and the author backs up his methods with proven results from his work in a behavior clinic for children
